Stewart Title’s protection is sought by all types of lending institutions in the
residential and commercial lending markets.

Some of the world’s leading banks use our services. These institutions believe
that lending transactions which are title insured with Stewart Title have the optimum
combination of streamlined processing and enhanced lender protection.

Title insurance enhances the lending process as risks are re-allocated to Stewart
Title thereby minimising the lender’s exposure to loss which it can potentially suffer
due to the existence of certain defects when the lender is required to realise on
its security.

Stewart Title is not a mortgage processing or settlement company. We stick to
what we are experts in – title insurance.

By combining underwriting, risk and claims management with the industry specific
knowledge of our team and a program customised to the lender’s needs we drive the
following benefits for a lender’s business:

Greater certainty

Peace of mind that the mortgage security is enforceable due to our
standard cover and custom underwriting which can be provided as risks arise

Reduce the number of searches

Less diligence can be performed without increasing risk due to the
cover that is provided under our policies

Reduced costs through increased efficiency

Increased efficiencies are achieved through the reduced searches
and utilisation of our technology solutions

In addition to these benefits, Stewart Title has made a commitment to waive
any rights and remedies or relief to which we become entitled in our policies
by way of subrogation against the lender’s panel solicitors and/or settlement agents.

Stewart Title also offers protection to purchasers and existing owners of residential
properties. If a borrower takes out a title insurance policy on their property, the
lender can obtain a lender policy at a nominal fee.
